The Church of Ireland Historical Society is pleased to announce that it will host its spring conference in a virtual format.

As always, the first paper will start at 11am, plenty of time to grab your morning tea or coffee and relax from the comfort of your couch!

Confirmed speakers are Prof Colm Lennon (Maynooth University), Dr Joan Redmond (King’s College, London), and Professor Christopher Fauske (Salem State University). The research paper will be delivered by Mr James Frazer, who is pursuing his PhD at Queen’s University, Belfast.
